Default 2010 Derby Personal Seat Licenses

The past 2 years I have had a PSL for seats in Section 222. With the fall meet now over, I called the Churchill Downs Premium Seating office this morning at 502-636-4447 to inquire about mailing of PSL invoices for the 2010 Derby.

They informed me they were no longer offering PSLs in this area (I assume the 2nd Floor Grandstand) and that they would take my request to keep my seats (with a higher face value for the ticket and no PSL fee). I guess my PSL was for a 2-year term and the contract is over. They mentioned there were PSLs available in other areas.

I wonder if anyone else here had a PSL the past couple years and whether they will be able to keep their seats (especially if they were in the 2nd Floor Grandstand). The PSL brochure on the kentuckyderby.com website still shows PSL availability in the 2nd Floor Grandstand. When it comes to Derby seating, it seems like Churchill is always changing their policies and availability.

It is getting to be cheaper to just do an "IEAH" and buy yourself a Derby contender in order to get access to the good seats without PSL's.

I had a PSL the past two years in Section 124. I called them a couple weeks ago to find out the status and they said the two year deal was not an option any more. They did try to sell me another PSL though for a one time fee of $60,000. I declined.

I'm opposed to PSL's in any sport. It's another way to gouge the ticket holder.

You shouldn't, because a ton of people did that when the Bears went to it and almost every single person regrets is because of how much that PSL is worth now, compared to what they wanted you to pay then

And that is the ridiculous Bears

He may not have the 30 grand that it may cost them. The reality is for a couple of grand you can buy a really nice HD tv, get the NFL package, a kick ass recliner and have a better time

Is it really costing 30k or are you exaggerating?

I think the Bears were 2500 a seat for normal seating when it started but I can't remember.

The Jets have abandoned many of their PSLs..My buddy just got his 4 tix from the Meadowlands, albeit at a higher price, but with no PSL upper 10 yrd line.

That is how the Bears did it, there are many that aren't PSL but still season tickets. That is how Geek Squad's tickets work.
